I believe down to my toenails that you have something precious to offer. And I believe down to my toenails that it is possible for you to thrive through offering it.

So open the conduit, okay?

Notice where the praise is accurate, and let yourself be nourished by that. Let go for the moment of whether or not you’ll be rocking tomorrow.

Let rocking now be enough.

Because now is all we have anyway. And it’s in this very moment that the world needs you, exactly the way you are.

Right?

Right.

PS: In case you’re wondering, I know both sides of this story firsthand. I know what it’s like to let the good stuff flow, and what it’ like to clog the flow with innocent and maddening self-absorption.
